Looking for my son for 58 years
Multi-million selling romance writer Lesley Pearse spent 58 years searching for the son she'd given up for adoption as a teenager
An agent once told Lesley Pearse to "write what you know", but her own story is more extraordinary than any of her bestselling novels. From lost teenage girl in 1960s London, to Playboy Bunny, to wildly popular romance novelist, Lesley spent 58 years searching for the son she'd given up for adoption when she was a teenager.
